Monadic ;: takes literal arguments. Convert the results to character. ;: ": 1 2 3 + 4 5 6 +-----+ |5 7 9| +-----+
It boxes J words or tokens, close, but not quite English words. In this case "1 2 3" is a single word in J. ;: 'The result is ' , ": 1 2 3 + 4 5 6 +---+------+--+-----+ |The|result|is|5 7 9| +---+------+--+-----+ 6!:2 executes literals. Put the calculation in quotes. 6!:2 'p:1000000' 0.000152044 On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 4:10 AM, David Vaughan <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to J and just installed the 7.01 64-bit MAC version, and a lot of > commands are working, but some are giving me domain errors, even though I'm > copying the sentences from one of the books. > > Some examples that give me a domain error: > ;: 1 2 3 + 4 5 6 > > As I understand it, that should put all the words into boxes. > > Another example is the time stuff: > 6!:2 p:1000000 > > Do I need to change some paths of things, or is my install corrupt/this > particular version broken? > > Thanks in advance. > ___________________________ > > David Vaughan > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
